I want...




My housemate, Miss Hayley Lomax, 3rd Year Fashion student has created this A-mazing outfit for her collection! The fashion students organise a photo shoot to model there garments professionally and boy does this look professional. I think theres something amazing about creating clothes, it's all quite risky and daunting as you stitch away but seeing the final piece like this must be very rewarding!
*Hayley, if you get rich... remember those who lent you hats =) 

An English Country Garden




Oh how I've been waiting for this day! And it didn't fail to disappoint. The Sarah Burton dress was so beautiful. However, what I found more amazing was the flower display within Westminster Abbey. Rich leafy greens with ditsy cream flowers and a small avenue of trees lining the longest aisle in Britain brought a natural, romantic look to the ceremony. An English Country Garden within a stunning old building. Like a fairytale. Television coverage from inside Westminster Abbey juxtaposed with the imagery from the infamous tree lined Mall was fantastic. It was as though there were two aisle on the day, one of which the bride walked down and the other which the public lined. All the flowers were taken from Royal estates and will be replanted, so totally homegrown, as it should be on such an iconically British day.

What a difference a day makes.




I'd like to be in the top floor of the Hilton as the sun is setting over Manchester, but I'm much more intrigued as to what it would be like looking out into, well, nothing but cloud and fog!

Have a butchers...


An old YMCA basketball court in the US has been converted into some swish apartments! This interior pretty much sums up how I'd want the shop fit for the contemporary butchers shop I've been creating. Plush grass walls, glossy white counters and bright pink details. Delicious!

Look familiar?

Coincidence...?

Dance here.







Counteracting the idea that galleries are static spaces, the Tate Liverpool had a exhibition evoking the discotheque. The included disco balls, light up dance floor and wireless headphones full of toe tapping tunes! The space was used to celebrate the changing visual of the human form, from neo-classical to modern day. I found Liverpool Tate, as a whole, more exciting and cheerful than the average gallery. Walls were painted bight colours as opposed to white and it just felt like a better place to view art.
